"Hey look, its him" the surroundings muttered.
A certain rabbit girl clinged onto the hand of the individual in question, as they walked down the hallway in school.
"Isn't he the brother of that guy?"
The noisy surroundings continued.
"Yeah, its him right? No way! I mean, he doesn't look like..."
"Looks can be deciving"
"But..."
Benedict ignored the pointless banter in his surroundings, as he walked towards the target destination. The Principal's office.
*Thud*
Benedict knocked against the wooden door gently.
"Come in" a stern and yet warm voice embraced him from the other side.
As the door swung open, a young man stood by the side of his office table, his hands were behind his back, as his manly mustache accents the manuscline look of his face.
"I'm sure you know what you've been called here for right?" the man sat down at a sofa facing a table, they were all long in nature, and the red and premium sofa had a sort of elegance to it.
"Come on, sit down" the principal beckoned Benedict onto the other side.
Taking a seat, Benedict nodded his head.
"Well you see Benedict, you have always been an outstanding student...perfect grades...looks, and even combat ability but you see...."
"I understand" Benedict cut in.
"I see, then so, as of today....I will have to...."
"I'll leave the school , its fine" Benedict acknowledged.
"Stop cutting into my words! Jeez, young people nowadays! I will have to send you to a different school under my reccommendation, you are free to choose all available electives of course..." the principal looked towards Benedict.
"Thanks, but...no thanks" Benedict refused.
"I've been thinking a lot lately you see, and I think, I might just want to see this world abit." Benedict announced.
"A...are you sure?" the principal asked once again.
"Yes" Benedict affirmed.
"Well...now...though it hurts my pride a little, I do respect your decision." the principal nodded his head.
"Thanks" Benedict replied, as he left the room.

"Attention all residence, the mass murderer is still out on the loose, please be careful on your way home" a system regulated announcement came from a nearby speaker, as Benedict got out from the teleporter near his residence.
"Hey Benedict, what are you going to do now?" Usagi who was clinging onto his arm lightly nudged against him.
"I'm thinking of becoming an adventurer. What do you think?" he smiled, as he petted Usagi on the head.
"And you can also search for him as well right?" Usagi poked at his hidden agenda.
To that, Benedict lightly smiled.
"Well, there's that too, but I believe in him" he replied to her gently.
The two held hands, as the couple entered the small apartment building where they call home.
They didn't need to open the door, as there were already people inside.
Risha, Mitsuha, Michelle, Titania and a dozen of investigators in blue uniform.
"The house is clear, there are not even any remains of his fingerprint, or even a strand of hair." the investigators reported to one that appeared to be the superior.
If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
"Alright, move out" he announced at the notification.
"See, I told you, I wouldn't even miss a single strand of his hair!" Michelle taunted the group of officers that left. The red haired busty girl pointed her finger inappropriately as the investigators left.
"What does this mean?" Titania followed suit by showing her middle finger to the others.
"Its an insult" Risha told her nicely.
"Oh" Titania replied, while keeping her middle finger pointed.
"Where did he go?" Michelle wondered, as her information gathering even as a goddess of studies had failed her once again. There was simply no possible paths that he could have went to based on the circumstances, and in all likelyhood, he must have went out of the city already.
"So guys, I'm thinking of becoming an adventurer." Benedict broke his news.
"And I'm going to study under the same master as Issabell (duchess)" Mitsuha similiarly told them.
"Risha, do you want to come along?" Mitsuha offered her.
After all, she came along as she was now because of her brother's actions.
However, Risha shook her head.
"I'm going to finish the moon rabbit ritual and pay pilgrimage" she answered.
All in all, everyone appeared to be going on their own ways.
"and...I'm going to find Dominic" Michelle declared. Her eyes had a strange glint in them, as some sort of relentless energy appeared to glow from her.
"So...I guess I'll eat and sleep all I want here!" Titania declared as well.
"You're comming with me" Michelle told her. Her smiling face couldn't hide her eyes that tells a different story.
Michelle's eyebags were clearly visible, as he wobbly feet carried on her burning energy. 2 weeks. That was how long she hadn't slept. And also the same amount of time that incident happened.

2months ago..Dominic POV
I was skipping lessons as usual once again, and here I was, looking at some giant mess of disgusting 3D art. I call it disgusting, as the illusion magic used this time was so thick it looked like a 3 year old had colored the whole thing. I mean, how could THIS possibly pass off as an illusion to others? Do they not see anything wrong with this?
The staircase leading to the bottom had been completely camoflauged by this disgusting junk, and it looks like alot of grafiti has been drawn around as well.
Touching the mess of mixture of colors, I found out that it felt somewhat solid as well.
So I broke it.
It looked so disgusting I would break it anyways.
The staircase seemed to lead down to the basement. Who knew? The school had a basement. Well, considering each classroom had a special training hall on its own, this much wasn't exactly suprising.
"Whoese there??" a voice sort of hissed?
I walked down, and saw a giant group of devils.
Seriously? What's with them and underground things? Then again, people have their own strange fetishes, im not one to judge~
The devils all wore school uniforms and were cloaked in magic as they seemed to be drawing some sort of massive magic circle? Carving it against the floor, as a person who had the sign of a pentagram and a star seemed to command them and point to me.
Come to think of it, doesn't that sign look oddly familiar?
Oh right..
I think I saw it a few times, when....
Opps. Nearly got hit there. Not like it mattered, but its a bother to walk all the way to the school store to buy the uniform again.
I slapped away the devil charging at me. He flew towards the guy with the familiar looking symbol, and the both of them were sent to the ground...well the devil's head had flown out though. No idea why devils are so fragile.
"Die!" I hear the devils shout.
This is self defense, not like that actually mattered, but not being charged for murder in this city would be nice.
"SUMMON THE HELL TRAIN! NOW!" I heard another person with the symbol shout, actually come to think of it, all of them seem to have the symbol somewhere on their bodies.
I notice a devil's body without its head squirm around in search for its head. Their like cockroaches, resiliant and hated.
The magic circle started glowing.
I guess this was a bad situation?
So I tried pulling out their heads one by one. At the same time, I decided to create small cracks here and there in the magic circle.
I guess this might seem to happen in an instant to them?
Walking out back to where the stairs was, the magic circle's glow died off, as the heads of the devils were rolling on the floor.
Actually, do they die? How do I kill them?
I took a head from the floor and completely crush it.
The body stopped moving.
Oohh.
This was a new discovery. If I completely crushed the head of a devil, it will stop moving.
I noticed that the person shouting commands was actually the headmaster.
I see nanobots gather around in the air.
Then, their small cameras started flashing.
Could they have entered because I broke the magic barrier thingy?
As I left the basement, I notice a picture of my face all over the systemnet.
"Student kills whole class and headmaster in cold blood" was the title of the article.
Now then, what is this?
"Come out with your hands in the air, we have you surrounded!" I hear a cliche line resonating through the school. The declaration sounded around the school again and again.
Whoever they were calling should hurry up soon, as they threatened to use bombs.
Looking around, no one was around.
"Dominic, this is it for you!"
Oh, so they were calling for me.
And then, a bright light annoyed me.
It appears that they may have mistaken me for a murderer or something, as I red the news on the giant screens around the city as I ran past.
I guess, I'll come back when my name is cleared after they see that it was devils?
A few weeks had passed, and since I was still branded a murderer I think I'll be going on a journey. I left a note explaining to my siblings back at home when I went back to get some clothes. So i guess its fine. Maybe I'll come back and find them after they finish school or something. It was getting boring in that city after all~
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
THE NOTE
I killed devils who were attacking me. They were summoning a hell train thingy(?). Headmaster is a devil as well. Food is in the refrigerator.
People with the mark of a pentagram and a star.
